### Bug description

Nextcloudserver 25.0.5 running in the internet
Nextcloud Desktop Client 3.8.0 running on an Ubuntu 22.04

The folder I like to sync is on a NAS, and mounted in the Ubuntu.
New files created from a Windows in this network share are not recognized from the client running on the Ubuntu.
I tried different protocols to mount the folder, like smb, nfs, webdav, does not make any difference.
Files in this folder are recognized as soon as I make some modification in that folder, eg. "touch testtouch.txt"
But files in subfolders are not recognized with this touch.
Files are in general seen by ubuntu, as the file explorer with F5 shows them, and also the ll command.
See my screenshots.
